We hope that you can join us at our 2012 Fall Conference. Some may recall that the very first Fall Conference was held in September of 2000.

At the time it was known as the “Ken Lanhardt Memorial Golf Tournament”. Ken was one of the founding members of the SPC and he passed away in the spring of 2000. We are returning to the location of that first conference, the beautiful Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa in Asheville, NC.

A change this year is the general session /luncheon on Friday. President John Shuman will give his annual “State of the Council" address and our committee chairs will give brief reports on their respective committees programs. This will be followed by a Q/A session.

We are also pleased to announce that Roy Williams Head Basketball Coach at the University of North Carolina will be our guest speaker at the general session.

Our spouse program will be held on Saturday as well as 12th Annual Ken Lanhardt Memorial Golf Tournament and our annual sporting clays tournament.

Returning this year is the ever popular “Ultimate Tailgate Party” on Saturday evening.

The “Get Acquainted” reception will be held on Thursday evening and the Presidents Dinner dance with the election of new board members and officers as well as the recognition of the 2012 STEP-UPP graduating class and our 2012 Sponsors will be held on Friday evening.

Please register and book your hotel rooms early. The last day to make a room reservation is August 19, 2012.
